Professor C.T. James Huang from Harvard University is sharing his amazing story on how he got into Linguistics.

He came from a small village in Taiwan ("the last place on the map anyone would think of"). He read books while riding on the back of the family's buffalo while doing his daily chores. He flunked all his first year high school subject due to his passion for a school literary magazine he produced. His father helped him get back on track and guided him into a life of learning.
